Good day!
I WILL BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP, SUPPORT AND ADVICE !!!
I have an HP 4CZ68EA computer, Motherboard-HP-8434 (AM4).
Computer processor - AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G with VEGA 8 Graphics. AMD Radeon (tm) Vega 8 Graphics video adapter. No instructions for the computer.
In the characteristics of the computer it is written that 3.42Gb of RAM from 4Gb is available, since the built-in video card is installed. System type-64 bit operation. system, X64 processor. On the motherboard there are two slots for the establishment of RAM.
I want to increase the RAM from 4GB to 16GB.
I saw RAM in the store:
-8GB Transcend JM2666HLB-8G (you need to buy two identical modules individually 8GB x2)
-G.Skill Value 2x8GB DDR4 2666Mhz CL19Kit (everything goes in one set)
-Kingston KCP426NS8 / 8 (you need to buy two identical modules individually 8GB x2)
1, What do you think is better to buy a ready-made set of two modules for my computer or buy two identical modules individually 8GB x2?
2, What memory is better to buy for my computer:
-8GB Transcend JM2666HLB-8G (you need to buy two identical modules individually 8GB x2)
-G.Skill Value 2x8GB DDR4 2666Mhz CL19Kit (everything comes in one set) Model-F4-2666C19D-16GNT
-Kingston KCP426NS8 / 8 (you need to buy two identical modules individually 8GB x2)
3,Does Memory RAM-G. Skill's memory have a non-standard supply voltage?
4, What kind of memory do you personally recommend installing with two modules on my computer :
HP 4CZ68EA computer, Motherboard-HP-8434 (AM4).
Computer processor - AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G with VEGA 8 Graphics?
5, Is there a site that determines the compatibility of RAM with the processor, motherboard and the computer itself before buying RAM?
6, I now have 4 GB of RAM, of which 05, GB is taken by the integrated video card. Will I be able to feel the difference in the increase in productivity and in another improvement in the work of the computer with an increase in RAM from 4 GB to 16 GB?

You're very welcome.
Yes, I think you will be fine.
If you look at the Crucial memory report for your model, they list 3200 MHz memory as compatible.
You can actually install 2 x 16 GB if you wanted to according to the report.

I want to choose 8GB x2 RAM
Computer processor - AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200G with VEGA 8 Graphic
My processor supports the maximum memory frequency of 2933 MHz.
1.Which RAM with a frequency of 2666 or 3200 Hz should I buy?
You can check my question!
2.Model Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) is not in my store.

You're very welcome.
I would go with the HP and crucial specs of 2666 MHz.
I've used G.Skill memory before and it works very good.
I have never used any of the other memory chips you mentioned.
I don't think it matters whether you buy two packaged together as a set, or two of the same exact memory chips packaged individually.
I would by whatever is cheaper. 1 kit of 2 or 2 packages of 1.
Usually the two packaged as one kit is cheaper than buying 2 separate chips, but not always.
While I can't tell you exactly what kind of boost in performance you will experience, I would have to say that it should be fairly significant.
Not only will you have more memory, but it will run in the better performing dual data rate (DDR) mode, instead of the lower performing single data rate (SDR) mode where one slot is empty, or each slot has a different capacity memory chip (4 GB + 8 GB for example).

Hi:
The AMD Ryzen 3 Pro 2200G processor your PC has cannot run memory at 3200 MHz, so there is no point in buying 3200 MHz unless it costs the same as 2666 MHz memory.
The rest I can't help you with.
G.Skill and Crucial are both good chip manufacturers and carry limited lifetime warranties.
I would buy whichever brand cost less.

Hi:
Yes I have seen that processor support spec of 2933 MHz too, and can't make any sense out of it.
The only 2933 MHz memory chips I could find are ECC, and will not work in your PC.
They are also very expensive. They are used in servers.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER, HELP !
THERE ARE TWO CHOICES :
RAM with a frequency of 2666MHz -64 $
https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/hp-desktop-pro-a-microtower/CT14136848
RAM with a frequency of 3200Mhz-68 $
https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/hp-desktop-pro-a-microtower/CT14283230
In your opinion, which option is better to choose and why ?
THANK YOU !!!
